ABOUT THE FOUNDER:
I founded my organization in 2007 after the man who molested my daughter was released from prison ~ I needed a positive avenue to vent my anger & try to prevent other families from having to go through the same anguish that my family endured. I was shocked to learn how many parents did not know the child abuse statistics, signs or symptoms or how to check the National Sex Offender Registry. I have made it my mission to try to educate the public on this increasing epidemic plaguing our nation.

I am also a 7x published author/co-writer with best-selling Barnes & Noble Author, Donna M. Kshir. I am currently attending college full-time and majoring in CRIMINAL JUSTICE–LAW ENFORCEMENT.
